With the exception of the orignal Dink and Mystery Island all the D-mod have the same title saying "Your title goes here"

Love! True love! 
That's definitely something with your computer, possibly in your main Dink Smallwood directory. While some authors choose not to include a title screen, top-tier D-Mods like those definitely have custom screens, and you should be able to see them.

Yeah I see custom screens on some of those dmods, also how do you make a custom screen and put it on a dmod?

how do you make a custom screen

You open up MS Paint, and start doodling like a pro.

Dack, that's not true. Pros doodle all of the time, it's what keeps their skills sharp. I can't name how many professional artists on DeviantArt put out a sketch dump of every random thing they just happened to save. Sometimes it's fairly interesting concepts, other times it's just drawing a character in a different pose.

Doodling is the lifeblood of all great artists.

Ok, then Pros doodle too. What about Doodle Bob? Still there has to be an area where some of the authors first get a template, or do the map a screen, then screenshot it?

Templates are for pussies.

All you need is a decent concept, knowing the proper dimensions of the image, and the will and desire to make it a reality.
For instance: My personal logo. This will appear in all games that I create.

My suggestion would be to uninstall Dink Smallwood then reinstall it. That might fix the issue.

Hey! Some of us are trying to have a conversation! A rare one where I actually understand him! Besides, I've never experienced your problem. Perhaps you installed something wrong?

@Pred, Have you tried turning off, then back on?

@Kris, So your saying if I want to make a custom screen, I should try to work a little on my art skill?

I'm saying, if you want to make your custom screen, doodling can give you ideas and helps you create a solid concept. It doesn't have to be good, it just has to be something you enjoy because you worked hard on it.

Fine, when I want to make a custom screen, I will try doodling and maybe drawing after.
